"We cannot recommend Modern Strings enough. From booking the Trio months in advance and right up to our Wedding Day, communications with Sophie were great and we were made to feel nothing was too much trouble. True professionals in every way, what an amazing contribution they made to our Wedding Ceremony and Drinks Reception. They set the exact tone we were looking for on our special day and our Guests were delighted to hear them play and still talk about them. Thank-you Modern Strings – we couldn’t have asked for more! Sharon & Steve - Talbot, Ripley 22/9/17 "

"Ivan was the ultimate professional and having arrived in good time proceeded to entertain our Burns Supper guests in a very professional manner. His address to the haggis was superb and was done with the right amount of humour. Thank you for helping to make the night a great success."

"The live music went down really well with our guests, and I've had lots of compliments about how good you were. Special thanks for learning that new song for us during the ceremony - Markus' family were delighted that we could include it, so we are very grateful to you. Also, the venue owners seemed to have really enjoyed your live music, and they asked me for your contact details, so you might hear from them as they were keen to try and encourage more people to do the same…"

"My (now) wife and I booked the King’s Quartet to play at our wedding ceremony and reception in November 2017, and they were undoubtedly one of the highlights of the day. Despite contracting them at a relatively late stage (around three weeks before the event), they were very open to our requests, and the quality of their playing was excellent. As our wedding was quite small, their music really added to the ambience without overwhelming guests' conversations. We were also impressed with their professional service. They were smartly dressed, arrived exactly on time and managed the transition between the three rooms they had to play in without any problems."

"It was an absolute pleasure to have Chris as the piper at our wedding. We booked him to pipe the guests in and out of the ceremony, at our rural farm/barn venue in May 2023. He was friendly and helpful when I got in touch. He is a serious ‘trad’ musician, not just someone who knows a few wedding classics, and he played a fantastic selection of tunes on the day. We spoke beforehand about the sort of pipe tunes that we like, and he accommodated this happily. Price was really reasonable, and he was organised, communicated well in the run up to the day, and arrived in plenty time (always helps to minimise wedding day stress!). Walking across a courtyard to the country bothy we were married in, to the sound of Chris playing the pipes, was one of the most special and emotional moments of my whole wedding day. Whole heartedly recommend him!"

"Sebastian directed a group of four singers and a trumpeter for my daughter's wedding, as well as playing the organ. He could not have delivered a better recital for the occasion, indeed his musical contribution was a real highlight for our 200 guests. He invited a group of first class musicians to join him and every thing was performed to the highest standard. Highlights were the bridal entry to the church to Trumpet Voluntary in D, by John Stanley and the finale procession to Wider's Toccata. The anthems were also wonderful, with a superb female vocalist taking the lead for Goodall's The Lord is my Shepherd and Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus. We cannot thank Sebastian enough for the part he played in a very special family day. He was a pleasure to work with and delivered the most perfect performance."

"Leanna is so talented, we received sooo many compliments and she created such a wonderful atmosphere with her music. Truly incredible. We cannot recommend her enough, she was lovely and so accommodating (even when I asked to change a song the day before the wedding!) we cannot sing her praises enough and whether you think you want a saxophone player or not trust us when we say you need Leanna to be a part of your event!

"We were both very moved by Michael's performance of "Better Together" which he played for the bride's arrival. We received so much positive feedback from our guests for all the fabulous guitar music he performed during the wedding breakfast. A really great guitarist."

"I just want to say how brilliant Rob was at our wedding. We got married on the 30th of December (a bit late with the review) but he was outstanding. He played all the songs we wanted and by request, he even learned a few songs by lesser-known Irish bands which was very impressive. I couldn't rate him highly enough."

"I have to thank my husband for hiring you I'd never heard the bagpipes I am now a fan. When I hear the bagpipes in future I will think of you"

"We couldn’t recommend this duo enough! They learnt our first dance song, and it felt like it was written just for us. They kept the energy going all evening, and so many of our guests have been asking about them! Professional, friendly, and so talented."
